My daughter just had all her wisdom teeth out... what foods?

Question

i am going to go and stay with her .. what are the best foods to make for her? Breakfast? Lunch? she also has TMJ so is probably going to be more swollen, or even locked

Answer 1

Soft foods are the best. Make sure she does not drink through a straw, it will make the blood clot that has formed come out. If that happens it is a dry socket and they are very painful. Also make sure she does not spit forcefully as that too can dislodge the clot. I hope she feels better soon.

Answer 2

It depends on the severity... when I had my wisdom teeth pulled it was not too bad. Revert to baby food... ie. anything that does not require chewing... mashed vegetables, stewed fruit etc. I always found that stocking up on cool food like iceblocks and icecream helped too... as well as being easy to swallow the coolness eased some pain. You did not mention her age, but being wisdom teeth I am presuming she is old enough to communicate with you, so ask her to keep you posted with what is working for her and what is not... as a side note.. stay away from particularly salty food as it can aggrevate the wound.

Answer 3

This is a very big moment in her life, shell never forget- mine also just did the same (plus 2 others for braces) they told us to fix cold foods for atleast the first 24hrs, and stay on soft foods ice cream,mashed potatoes gravys soups anything soft or liwuid that wont poke the gums

Answer 4

it depends on how she got her teeth out, if the teeth were impacted (meaning that they had to break the wisdom teeth to pull them out) then she is going to be hurting and bleeding more then if they were not. Stay away from salty foods and foods that have a rough texture, stick to oatmeal, yougart, eggs, pudding that kind of stuff for the first day or two if she is hurting bad.

Answer 5

well one can go off the food for a few days,but as the wisdom teeth are at the back there is still plenting to chew with,but it depends on the indivigual,might i sugest soft eggs,soups,and vitamised vegtables,jellies custard,porage,this will give a good virity and maintain her well being,hope she is better soon

Answer 6

I had all 4 of mine taken out at the same time...I ate jello and mashed potatos for a week...seriously
milkshakes are also good

Answer 7

I would agree that softer foods like mashed potatoes, ripe bananas and pudding is what you eat.
Don't do what the cook at university did and give me instititutional roast beef (thick and very dry). It dislocated my jaw eating it!

Answer 8

Hi,
Try to cook some congee and keep cool for her to eat. Maybe, you can prepare some really well done noodle(cool noodle and cut it in a small for easy swollen).

Good luck:)

Answer 9

ice cream, ice pops, slushies from Dairy Queen or the Sonic, Icees from the gas station, cool soups, pudding, yogurt, broth.

Answer 10
